If you have your tax strategy set as (LIFO- last in first out), those recently 50 shares that you purchased at .09 will be the first to sell, so not a wash because you're selling them at 12. You are original hundred shares are left untouched.
It goes the same as if you bought those hundred shares at $0.80, and you finally got out of biopharmx at $0.60 but never bought back in within the 30-day period to trigger a wash sale, then technically you still get a tax write-off coming to you because those shares originally were purchased above the $0.60 sale price at .80.
